Item 65 — Thursday, January 22, 2026
How it affects me: If you use Austin Parks and Recreation, this item lists $1,000,000.
Current official agenda wording
Conduct a public hearing and approve a resolution authorizing the City Manager to apply for a grant in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000 from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) for a Local Parks Rider Grant and authorizing and directing the Director of Austin Parks and Recreation to act on the City's behalf and work with the TPWD for purposes of the 2025 Local Parks Rider Grant. Funding: $1,000,000 is available from TPWD through the Local Parks Rider Grant. No City match is required.
The roll call
City of Austin headshots stay on the council page. The City's terms allow personal use of austintexas.gov images, so this roll call shows initials.
